Rhode Island

Rhode Island is looking for a “forward-thinking PR and communications firm” to handle outreach for the I-195 Redevelopment District.”

Established in 2011, the District is responsible for the sale, marketing and oversight of land made available in downtown Providence as a result of the relocation of Interstate 195. 

The land parcels may be used for commercial, institutional and residential development. The Ocean State prefers to redevelop the land to spur the “knowledge-based economy” by attracting industries such as life sciences, media technologies, research development, hospitality, and software design. 

The selected firm will manage press relations, stakeholder (neighborhood groups, businesses, general public, governmental entities) outreach and website management for the district’s governing commission. 

Responses are due July 26.
